Try telling that to my cardiologist....
Darren, no need for more pig fat. I'm carrying around enough of that already.
Lead on the other hand has been in short supply around here for a long time now. They closed the last remaining lead smelter in the US (here in Missouri) at the end of 2013. Glad I saved all the old style wheel weights when I did. Funny thing is I grew up in a house with lead paint on the trim, had lead drain pipes, copper plumbing that was soldered with lead, handled lead wheel weights with my bare hands just about every day in my job, soldered radiators & misc wiring, hand cast / loaded and shot thousands of lead bullets and lead shot, made lead hammers etc.
And now they tell people it's going to kill them if they even LOOK at a piece of lead???
